Julie tried to use the law of syllogism to draw a conclusion based on the statements below. Explain why she is not able to do so

. If AB is bisected by another line segment, two pairs of congruent angles are formed. If AB is bisected by another line segment, segment AB will be cut into two equal sections.

Answer:

Syllogism states: If p⇒q, and q⇒r, then p⇒r.

In the given case, there is no implication q⇒r.

But she is using,

p⇒q

p⇒r (directly, without the proposition q⇒r).

Therefore, she cannot draw a conclusion based on the statements.

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of syllogism starts from two different premises to reach a conclusion; This law consists of:

Premise 1: If p implies q; and

Premise 2: q implies r; that equals

Conclusion: p implies r.

If p⇒q, and q⇒r, then p⇒r.

In the given case, we define the propositions like this:

p = AB is crossed by another line segment

q = two pairs of congruent angles are formed

r = segment AB will be cut into two equal sections

We can see that the syllogism law is not being applied, because there is no implication q⇒r.

The following operations are being presented:

p⇒q

p⇒r (directly, without the proposition q⇒r).

Therefore, she cannot draw a conclusion based on the statements.

Hope this helps!

Answer:  The conditional statements are not in the correct form to make a conclusion using the law of syllogism. “If p, then q and if p, then r” cannot be used to draw a conclusion using the law of syllogism. The law of syllogism could be used if the hypothesis in the second statement was "if two pairs of congruent angles are formed."

Step-by-step explanation:

"If p, then q and if p, then r" cannot be used to draw a conclusion using the law of syllogism.

Neither of the conclusions of the conditional statements are the hypothesis of the other.

"If two pairs of congruent angles are formed" could be the hypothesis of the second statement.

** Both can be used to answer the question :)

Chad and Victoria are playing a game with a quarter and a spinner divided into sixths numbered one through six each player spins
rodikova [14]
The simple way to do this is to multiply the number of outcomes of one object times the number of outcomes in the other object. In this case a quarter has 2 sides, heads and tails. Since the spinner has 6 sections, there are 6 outcomes.


With this we can do, 2x6=12.

Therefore there are 12 outcomes

3. Consider the sequence,-8, -5, -2, 1, ...
Naddik [55]

Answer:

a) a_n=3\,n-11

b) a_{20}=49

c) term number 17 is the one that gives a value of 40

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

The sequence seems to be arithmetic, and with common difference d = 3.

Notice that when you add 3 units to the first term (-80, you get :

-8 + 3 = -5

and then -5 + 3 = -2 which is the third term.

Then, we can use the general form for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence to find its simplified form:

a_n=a_1+(n-1)\,d

That in our case would give:

a_n=-8+(n-1)\,(3)\\a_n=-8+3\,n-3\\a_n=3n-11

b)

Therefore, the term number 20 can be calculated from it:

a_{20}=3\,(20)-11=60-11=49

c) in order to find which term renders 20, we use the general form we found in step a):

a_n=3\,n-11\\40=3\,n-11\\40+11=3\,n\\51=3\,n\\n=\frac{51}{3} =17

so term number 17 is the one that renders a value of 40

Step-by-step explanation:

US has a comparative advantage in producing rice.

This means US's opportunity cost of producing rice is less than that of Korea.

Korea's opportunity cost of producing rice will be given as:

For producing 9 units of Rice, Korea gives up 5 cars.

For producing 1 unit of rice's, Korea will give up 5/9 units of car.
